Scholes the Genius

You do not have to be a Manchester United fan to appreciate the performance of Paul Scholes last night. His performance should be put on a DVD and used to show midfield players how to play. His goal was a fantastic strike, his passing was spot on, whether it was the length or weight of passing, everybody who he lined up received the ball. He was instrumental in every move that Manchester United made.

All youngsters watching the match, it was like a masterclass, straight from the training ground into a proper game. Last night Paul Scholes showed again the reason that he is so highly thought of in the game, he may not have a lot to say for himself off the pitch, but thats because he lets his talking be done on the pitch where it should be.

One of the reasons that Manchester United continue to do well is that they now have a wonderful balance of experienced world class players and up and coming young stars.
